Desinging To Learn

Week 6 Collage Introduction As part of the educational discourse in digital storytelling each week, I will conduct a reflective practice self assessment. These ‘reflections’ will serve as both formative and summative assessment to the learning goals of the course INTE 5340. See learning goals in the INTE 5340 syllabus . See DS106 syllabus .

Ds106 tdc1276 1. Find two spaces that share a boundary 2. Do something to highlight or alter the relationship between those two spaces. I chose to highlight the boundaries of fish and terrestrial beings. What would it be like to be a fish in a fish bowl? What would it be like for the fish to be walking on the ground or swimming through the air? The visible, physical boundaries explored were created by the meniscus of the water and the edge of the ‘fish bowl,’ and the computer screen and the rest of the live world. This was created by filming a youtube video: Fish relaxation scene - real life fish swimming to their delight by PlayerResidentCraft through a wine glass half filled with water. I used Adobe Premier to cut the video and add some text and sounds. I had to learn how to use AP by looking at some tutorials . I browsed freesound.org and found two tracks to use under creative commons for this project: ryanconway Underwater / Breathing and Robinhood76 WATER re...

Elephant Element Drawing "From The Sketchnote Workbook . We can draw everything with these 5 basic elements. Shall we try it? Find a complex subject for your composition and draw it using only circles, squares, triangles and dots!" - tdc1278 I am not sure it is the intent of Mike Rhode for us to create a drawing of a "complex subject" in this fashion. In my brief introduction to his work it appears the intent is to show how one can draw 'symbolically' for rapid communication and thought processes. However the tdc asked for a complex subject and to draw it with basic shapes. A remixed assignment in it's own right? So here we have it, "Elephant Element Drawing."  I first drew a rough sketch of the forms using simple shapes (you can see the under drawing I kept highly visible). Perhaps like the forms are described similarly to a low-polygon 3D model. On top of that rough sketch I added texture and shade to the forms by use of circles...

Notes with art history texts. For #penATweet day, some days late with ds106 and #dailycreate, tdc1275 . When I was in undergrad it was important to take lots of notes in history lectures because we were never quite sure which seemingly obscure tidbit of information from lecture would be included on a test. I had excellent cursive and standard hand writing in grade school. This is what it turned into after college.

80's kid remix (me) Upon the first read of chapter four in New Literacies: Everyday Practices and Social Learning Third Ed by Colin Lankshear and Michele Knobel I glossed over many of the details described in remix practices. This essentially happened because I have ‘grown up’ at an age that can be marked as the beginning of the digital age. Thus, I am very much aware of the the remixes described in chapter four. Some of which remixes I practice on an everyday basis as a means of production and to facilitate learning and explanation in my professional practice. In a way I have taken it for granted that digital remixes are a means of expressing culture and ideas as ‘new.’ It wasn’t until the second or third read that things started to ‘sink in’ for me to recognize the importance of remixing and ‘new literacies’ and that remixes are and always have been a part of human culture. Additionally there is controversy surrounding the idea of remixing and copyright laws in the dig...

Ms Kitty cleaning herself I snapped a photo a few weeks back when trying to get a picture of Kitty for a blind contour drawing. She was licking herself and then she shook her head right when I snapped it. So now for "A bad photo made better" daily create I drew another version of it where you can see some of her features. I drew this with a Wacom tablet on my computer. tdc1269 A bad photo of Ms Kitty
